Have a great weekend.

What are you doing this weekend? My dad's coming to visit from Michigan, and we're going out for pasta and to this rad exhibit. Toby will be showing off his new walking backwards skills, which he thinks is the same as doing the moonwalk. More or less! Have a wonderful weekend, and here are a few great posts from around the web...

Thanks for the tip on Along A Long Road. Although its a children's book, i think it would be the perfect gift a for a dear friend's 30th birthday! She and her boyfriend just opened a bicycle shop and very excited about this new journey.

You can skate on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa Canada every winter... except right now its too warm! Here are some great pictures! http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncc-ccn/sets/72157623409153846/ Not quite as exotic as Amsterdam though!

I recently ran across a lovely video on Facebook of the Amsterdam ice skating! It really chokes me up because I grew up in Holland (and the music doesn't help either): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0KZtgWoARsw Makes me miss my mother country! I now live in North Dakota, of all places.

Otto sounds like fun! That was the one restaurant that kept popping up in my New York friends' recs when I last visited. Made a good friend from Jersey go with me and went for broke on the truffle pizza. Have a great time with your papa!

Hm, I'm calling the bluff on those lattes. Usually when you get a "lovely heart or flower" in your latte, that's poured latte art - done as the barista pours the milk into the espresso in a certain shape. These are drawn ("etched") on top of the foam with a toothpick or other tool. As the tshirt I made for my coffee roaster/barista fiance says, "etching is not latte art."

In other news, I'm not saying I could make those designs, just providing information.

Loved your interviews! We also love the song, I Will. It has become part of our nightly routine around here. The lyrics are so beautiful. Looking forward to your Monday post. Being a parent has been the best thing I have ever done and also absolutely the most challenging. Thank you for your honesty and bravery. Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Joanna, I've been reloading to see if your Monday "truth" post has gone live! Hope everything's okay on your end. Your readers love you and your authenticity is much recognized and appreciated!xo,Lauren
